MSP’s Trooper 2 Nabs Another One

Detroit’s West Side – January 5, 2019: Michigan State Police Flying Blue Goose Trooper 2 assists Detroit PD’s 8th Precinct in the apprehension of a home invasion suspect in the area of Greenview & Pembroke, Detroit’s west side.

He thought he could hide from the evil eye in the sky…but, well, nnnope.

Off he goes to the DDC for a cheese sandwich and a juicy-juice.

Another great job by Trooper Two over the city of Detroit. Another bad guy off the streets. https://t.co/v8n4k3MR18
